KK7IJZ, this is WB7J, and you pegged it, I am in Mexico. And kudos to Rich, K30E, great timing, Rich. And let's see, so Rebecca, I wanted to report this, that yesterday after the net, I got good thinking about a project that I worked on just before I came back to Mexico at the end of 2020. And my project was to put together to build an All-Star node, you know, on an old PC. So you know, load the All-Star link running on Debian. And I, you know, I thought I kind of knew Linux and I could do that. I just ended up not being able to put it together. And the guy that runs AllScan.info, David, he built one for me. I paid him. He built one for me on a Raspberry Pi-like unit, which I've been using. And I'm using it right now. But yesterday I thought, you know, I've got this old PC just sitting back in a cabinet. The keyboard doesn't work. I have to plug in an external keyboard. The battery is dead. But otherwise, you know, it functions and it's probably about 10 years old. So yesterday after the net, I thought, you know, I might just try that project again. So I went to the all-star link manual. I loaded Debian 13 which is the most recent version. And I got it kind of working. I'm having to do a reinstall right now over the whole thing because I, a couple of options I selected I probably need to select differently. But otherwise I'm kind of jazzed. I think I might be completing that project that I left hung up three years ago. Hey, that's my report. Rebecca, thanks so much as always for doing a great net. Always cool to hear your positive energy out there on the airwaves. Thank you.
